In September’s blog we introduced you to the new footwear trends for the autumn-winter 2022 season. And, now that you already know the shoes that are going to be in fashion this season, we want to help you to combine your looks with the right shoes that are going to be in trend this autumn-winter 2022.

Trends autumn-winter 2022

The trends of the spring-summer 2022 season have not had enough. Therefore, we are going to find some of these trends in the autumn-winter season.

We will be able to find from stunning looks to practical and simple looks. Very bright and flashy colours to more classic and discreet colours. For this reason, the difficulty of successfully combining our looks increases with this set of trends.

Therefore, in Gabarain Footwear we want to give you a small guide so that you know how to combine all kinds of looks with the right type of footwear.

Dominatrix

After the summer of love comes the autumn of dominant love. Black total looks with straps, laces, leather, corsets, etc. arrive. This trend marks a great character, so we must combine all the details correctly.

For this trend we recommend combining high boots, platform heels, military boots and leather boots. Of course, all of them must be black to complete the total black look.

The 60’s

The nostalgia for the past returns this season with a focus on the 60’s. The daring girls are back, full of revolution and curiosity. All this can be found in the dresses and miniskirts with prints and shapes totally from that period.

If you dare with this look you have to know the shoes with which you can break the dance floor. Heels, shoes, boots or ankle boots. On this occasion you will have a world of possibilities where you can combine colours, prints and fabrics completely to your liking.

Pink colour

Is there such a thing as a timeless colour? Yes, and pink is becoming one of them. This tone is back in fashion this autumn-winter in all its ranges. Although this colour is very vivid and very appealing to wear, it is very delicate to combine. Therefore, you will have to complete your look with garments and accessories in white, black, grey, green, orange, yellow, blue, red, earth tones or triumph with a total pink look.

Don’t take any risks! If you want to combine your pink looks correctly, wear shoes, boots, heels or ankle boots with the colours we have mentioned above.

Preppy

The “school girl” style is back with board skirts, diamond prints, padded garments, berets, ties, etc. The catwalks are sweeping the catwalks with this style and it can be seen in any detail that takes us back to the school playground.

In this type of looks you will have a lot of combination margin, as it can be worn with trainers, moccasins, shoes, boots or ballerinas. Be original and bring out the little girl in you!

High boots

Are tall boots the absolute shoe of the season? Yes, they are. The most winter footwear is once again present in most looks. Now you can combine these boots with dresses, mini skirts, shorts, coats, overshirts, etc.

The materials of the footwear are very important, as they are the protagonists of the quality of the footwear. There are different types of materials that provide different qualities to the shoes, which allow them to adapt to the needs that the user has and is looking for: If you want more breathability, greater resistance, thermal insulation, comfort, etc. On this occasion, the Gabarain team will show you the properties of each of the materials we use when making our shoes.

Leather

Leather is the star material in our footwear, as it offers exceptional quality with unique properties. This material is the most used in the elaboration of shoes because it offers a great resistance, it is durable, flexible, and there are different types, colours, and with different prices. It is a great material with which you can make attractive, functional and fashionable footwear. The leather can be of different kinds, which also affects the qualities that the shoe will have, for example, a thin leather breathes more and adapts like no other shoe. On the other hand, a thick leather shoe can be heavy, warmer and susceptible to water absorption. The handmade leather shoe is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Textile fabrics

Textile fabrics for footwear provide different qualities to the shoe and have a variety of properties, such as different colours, weaves, fibres and denier. The denier is the equivalent of the weight of the yarn where 1 denier = 1 gram per 9,000 linear metres of yarn. This type of material is used for lighter, more flexible and comfortable footwear, such as sports or casual shoes. These textiles come in many types of fibres, such as cotton, nylon, wool, polyester, lycra, polypropylene, etc. Each of these brings a different property and appearance. This material is considered an exceptional resource for designers, as there is an infinity of colours, patterns, fabrics and prints to create all kinds of designs. Textile has a special place in footwear design.

Synthetics

This material is called by many names, from synthetic leather, leatherette, PU, PVC, or vegan leather, etc., and is a material also widely used in the design of modern sports footwear. Synthetic leather made of high-quality PU is manufactured with a water-resistant PU microfibre base. Nowadays, in order to be able to design shoes, it is necessary to have knowledge of synthetic materials, as this offers us as designers a great variety of textures, different characteristics, colours, etc. Synthetic fabrics are materials that can be reused and recycled, so if you are looking for a sustainable shoe that gives you great comfort, this type of material is the one you are looking for. Discover our commitment to the environment and how we support sustainability.

Foam

Foam is another essential material in the manufacture of footwear, as it is one of the materials that also provides unique properties. There are many types of foam, generally we can find two:
Open cell foam: the plastic compounds that form the foam cells are open, air and water interfere freely, thus providing the footwear with great breathability and ventilation. This foam is available in different densities, and in almost any thickness and colour.
Closed cell foam: the individual cells are closed or sealed, and do not allow the internal foam gas to escape. The midsoles of sports shoes are made of this type of foam. The most common foams of this type are EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), PE (Polyethylene), SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), PU (Polyurethane), latex and neoprene. Each has different qualities, e.g. EVA foam is used to reinforce materials made with mesh for waterproofing. On the other hand, SBR and neoprene are used when a more elastic footwear is required, while latex is used to cover the shoe’s upper or to cover the neckline. As for PE foam, it is a lighter material but not as durable, so its use is limited.

All these materials are the most common in the elaboration and manufacture of footwear, each one provides different properties depending on the utility that you want to give to the shoes or slippers, but there is no material better than another. What is best for a running shoe is not necessarily the best material for work boots. At Gabarain we carefully select every detail of each shoe so that it provides the best qualities, taking into account durability, service rates, comfort, and above all and very importantly, style.
